What's your guess on whether microformat consumers will be
incentivized to reject e.g. hCard without rel=profile?

The wiki page cites one implementation: Cognition.

It's interesting to see what preferences (i.e. unresolved arguments)
the tool offers. It offers these:
[ ] Strict Microformats
[ ] Strict RDFa
[x] Strict eRDF
[ ] Strict GRDDL
[ ] Check <head profile> for GRDDL (slow!!)
Only Strict eRDF is checked by default. "Strict Microformats" and
"Strict GRDDL" mean that the tool forces itself to not recognize class
and rel values if there's no profile URI. Since these are not checked
by default, the developer of the tool has to have concluded that it's
more useful for users of the tool to ignore the profile URI.
Also note that actually dereferencing profile URIs for GRDDL discovery
is off by default because it is slow with two exclamation points.
